00:00 Hamas releases a new video supposedly showing the bodies of two Israeli hostages after warning
00:09 they might be killed if Israel does not stop its bombardment of Gaza.
00:13 The video shows the bodies of 53-year-old Yossi Sharabi and 38-year-old Itay Shvirsky.
00:19 The video also shows another Israeli hostage, 26-year-old university student Noah Argamani,
00:25 seemingly reading a script saying the two were killed by Israeli strikes.
00:30 Israel's military spokesperson says, "We don't attack a place if we know there may be hostages
00:35 inside.
00:36 Itay was not shot by our forces.
00:38 That is a Hamas lie."
00:40 Reuters is unable to verify what had happened to the three, who were among the 240 people
00:45 taken hostage by Hamas on October 7.
00:48 Over a hundred days have passed since Hamas' October 7 attack, which triggered Israel's
00:52 offensive on Gaza.
